PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 10

The project manager is unable to obtain a global consensus of competing subject matter experts and stakeholders on the project scope. This has caused a one- month delay.
What should the project manager do next to reduce further delay?

Answer options

• A. Initiate a scope change request.
• B. Schedule a project kick-off meeting.
• C. Schedule a stakeholder meeting.
• D. Engage the project sponsor/portfolio manager.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as organizing a stakeholder meeting will facilitate discussion and help achieve consensus on the project scope, addressing the root cause of the delay. The other options, while potentially useful, do not directly target the issue of gaining alignment among stakeholders, which is crucial for moving forward effectively.
